  • the invention further relates to a manufacturing method for producing a hollow body, in the context of which use is made of the above method, and to a machine for producing a hollow body, which has a device of the above type.
  • Hollow bodies of this type are, for example, hollow shafts, such as those used in automotive engineering as drive shafts and, among other things, as side shafts.

  • the smaller diameter of the receptacle of the outer mold corresponds to the outer diameter of the undeformed workpiece.
  • an annular shoulder is formed due to the different diameters.
  • a hollow punch concentric with the mandrel the inner diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the mandrel and the outer diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the upper axial section of the receptacle of the outer mold, plunges into the upper axial section of the receptacle on the outer mold and presses the upper end of the workpiece in the axial direction.

Over a partial length running in the axial direction of the pipe at the end of the pipe to be thickened, the segments of the outer shape recede relative to an axial remaining length of the segments in the radial direction of the pipe.
  • a shoulder running in a ring around the pipe is formed.

  • the remaining axial length of the segments rests against the outer wall of the pipe.
  • To thicken the axial end section of the pipe it is first heated using a heating device housed inside the mandrel. A hollow punch is then moved in the axial direction of the pipe against the end face of the axial end section of the pipe to be thickened.
  • the hollow punch is immersed in the hollow cylindrical space formed on the outside of the pipe between the pipe wall and the segments of the outer mold. Due to the impact of the hollow punch on the pipe, material from the pipe flows into this space, forming the desired thickening of the pipe wall.

  • the hollow body is acted upon in the axial direction by an actuating element which protrudes radially outward from the outside of the hollow body wall and limits the escape space of the outer shape in the axial direction. As a result, the axial extent of the escape space can be increased.
  • an axial relative movement of the loading elements carrying out the continuous compression movement on the one hand and the outer shape on the other hand is carried out in the axial direction by superimposing a movement carried out by the outer shape in the axial direction on the continuous compression movement of the loading elements carrying out the continuous compression movement.
  • the axial extent of the thickening produced on the hollow body wall can be defined by the amount of the axial relative movement of the loading elements and the outer shape.
  • Material of the hollow body wall flows into the escape space of the outer mold, which is constantly increasing due to the axial relative movement of the loading elements carrying out the continuous compression movement on the one hand and the outer mold on the other hand, where the thickening of the hollow body wall can consequently build up continuously over the desired axial length.
